Pregnant women are constantly advised to take special care of themselves and to refrain from intense activity in order to prevent pregnancy-related problems. We frequently even offer to complete chores around the house because we want them to have the easiest pregnant experience possible. But the truth is that, especially if a woman is enthusiastic about something, we can never completely control what she wants to accomplish. And yes, expectant mothers may be tenacious. So, as long as their pregnancy won’t be jeopardized, it’s best to just let them do as they choose.
One woman, however, may have slightly broken the norms by endangering both her own life and that of her unborn child in the name of duty.
Firefighter Megan Warfield, who works for Baltimore County in Maryland, has always been passionate about helping others. She still found the chance to assist others even though she was just a week or two away from giving birth and she did so without any reservations right away.
Following the incident, Warfield’s story was shared on social media by the Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue & Marine.
It appears that Warfield has been working as an administrator for a while. She had been eagerly anticipating giving delivery at that moment. But a week or two prior to giving birth, she was involved in an accident.
The Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue & Marine stated in a Facebook post that Megan had just finished planning and staging her late father’s 2nd annual memorial golf event when she was involved in a serious motor vehicle crash.
Warfield should have taken care of herself after the accident, one would think. But when she noticed a person stuck inside an upside-down automobile, her fireman instinct took control. She was immediately aware that she had to try to save the person’s life.
Megan instantly evacuated her damaged car and started giving aid to a person who was trapped by their overturned car, disregarding the possibility that she might be hurt. There until Squad 213 showed up to release the victim, Megan remained with this patient. Megan consented to a self-evaluation once all patients had been assessed, according to the fire department.
When Warfield leapt in to assist the victim from the flipping automobile, she remembered what happened.
I began to jump in there with her but stopped after asking, “What are you doing? Warfield said to TODAY Parents, “You’re nine months pregnant. “Since I wasn’t certain of her injuries at the moment, I ended up holding onto her to keep her in place. Warfield continued, “It was also crucial that I maintain her composure. It was a rather painful experience.
Joshua Daugherty, Warfield’s paramedic boyfriend, fortunately arrived among the first responders.
She went to the John Hopkins Hospital immediately after the collision to get checked out, when she learned that the accident had caused induced labor. She found that the infant had been thrown to one side.
Warfield added, “I don’t know how I did what I did because the cramping was so awful.” I must have simply been fueled by adrenaline.
In less than a day, Warfield gave birth to a lovely baby girl.
When Warfield went above and above to save the life of another person, she did indeed demonstrate heroic and selfless behavior. Thankfully, her good deed was noticed. Good work, Warfield!
